oh thanks girls ...i am glad i had a share =)

CENTREPIECE!

Last year I bought a round hat box and painted it white and put a big bow around it. It was filled with tissue paper and blown up little water balloons which were kinda egg shape in pastel colours...

So this year..........

I LOVE this!!!

here's the step by step with all sorts of variations..

I think I might get a special bouquet this year because Mum and Dad will be with us and because Meaghan is leaving that day.
though a posy from the garden would also look nice.







These are some other lovely ideas I found on the net. (I've popped in links for credit)
I'm thinking I like the flower idea this time around!!

This is bright and simple - love this effect!

Got a big brandy balloon? These was 'big' in the '70's - try op shops!

I like the idea of oversize vases filled with some sort of easter theme - I think tied with some big bows would be fab too!

Hope you like some of these ideas...
Share more if you've got some...

These are all great ideas. I love the spoon one.

Here is a pic of what I have made to use.



One each for Craig, myself and Missy. I have three little pails too and will fill them with little hunting eggs. I am going to head out to Spot light on Wednesday or Thursday to grab a table cloth and/or place mats of some sort.

They are absolutely stunning JULIE!! gorgeous-smorgeous! I can just visualise them on your table!!!

Wow Julie those are gorgeous

It works well doesn't it Sammy. I make little tags for the bigger eggs with their name on it and just use little labels with their name for the smaller ones (not the tiny tiny ones though)

Each child helps decorate a basket which they place in their room the night before and they use this to collect their eggs on their hunt

Thanks girls.

Ooh some lovely inspiration there Mandy and Julie...I have an idea now...you will all have to wait and see

I just found A couple on the web




Crepe paper carrots
Love your vegetables! Made of wrapped paper streamers, these adorable little bundles are a twist on the crepe-paper surprise ball. As you unwind the paper, you find the trinkets -- jewelry, a novelty, a toy. It's simple to grow a basketful and customize them for guests of any age. Display them as a centerpiece or leave them by the door as favors.

love the carrots how cute.

Totally LOVE these ideas!! How absolutely cool!

I bought these....
They are going on my table!!! They were quite cheap!

and they are very cute.

OMGoodness.............I LOVE those bunnies, Mandy.

Ok my table is finished. Not the best of pics so will try and take another one in the morning without the flash before Missy attacks it.



From Missy's seat.

Oooooooh! Julie.....that is just gorgeous.......Your Missy will be sooooooo excited.
